About this Research Topic
In this edition, we will showcase the latest research on biomaterials and their biological activity. The design and fabrication of biomaterials with suitable properties for tissue regeneration and medical implants is a complex task. However, by applying nanochemistry, we can engineer scaffolds with ideal mechanical properties, surface functionalities, and cellular interactions. Recent advancements in this field involve incorporating nanoparticles into scaffolds or coating biomaterial surfaces with nanomaterials to enhance cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. This, in turn, leads to accelerated healing and improved tissue integration. To overcome the challenges in this field, we need innovative solutions that leverage the principles of nanochemistry to enhance the performance of biomaterials in regenerative medicine, as well as target drug or molecule delivery. Our Research Topic aims to highlight the importance of integrating nanochemistry principles to achieve precise control over material properties and drug interactions, resulting in improved therapeutic outcomes.
